This is a black and white cartoon illustration. It depicts a man with a large, bushy beard and wearing a hat, standing in front of an easel. He is in the process of painting a portrait of a woman in white. The man is holding a paintbrush and appears to be meticulously working on the painting. The painting itself is of a woman draped in white fabric, with her head tilted slightly. An easel holds the painting. A palette with paint is on the floor next to the easel. The background is dark, suggesting a studio setting. Below the image is the text 'HE WROTE THE 'WOMAN IN WHITE'.
